Student protest

[WhiteBears]

Do you think the protest that took place the other day were all students?

i think not, i beleive some were just out there to cause trouble.(maybe some who does not like the police wants to take it out on them)- why would you mask yourselves, throwing snooker balls, letting out flares and so on?

this is just like football hooligans. they are not out there to watch or support your team, they are out there to cause trouble.

No, there are 'Far Left' groups who are out to cause trouble, just as they do when some 'Far Right' groups try and carry out peaceful marches (oh, I had better correct this, because they are not allowed to march, only form stationary protests).

This student protest included school pupils, some of whom wouldn't get a University place if they came free with cornflakes.

Mmm... in the current climate, seadogg, sad as it may be, I think they would.

my daughter is a teaching student, and i can confirm she was at home that day lol

The sensible students they interviewed were outraged by the behaviour of some of their so-called colleagues. I cannot understand parents who gave their teenagers a day off school to go and join in. It was a case of (IMO) a rumble is coming, let's go and join in.

Police: "Protesters have failed to stick to the agreed route."

To be fair, so have the Lib Dems.
